not a channel but I recently got into this band cosmic collective that does some jazz and lofi stuff and they're real people and they live near me and I see them live and it's dope
Awesome stuff!
Supposedly https://lofigirl.com/ actually gets real musicians to make the music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofi_Girl
Glad to hear the largest channel is still legit
It's not just lofi, any genre now has something like Band Name - Album of Yore (1980) with cromulent album art and then at the end of the fucking description it says it's "an imaginary band". They put the fucking year in the title, that's how imaginative it all is.
Mikel is my favorite Lo-Fi artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJkrbpYv90Q
Yup, came here to say this. I have Zelda & Chill on vinyl, and it's fantastic to put on while chatting with friends. Or, anytime really.
Got the Ghibli Tape here. :)
Wow, no idea how I missed this!
SomaFM maybe?
Axian. The old mixes from like 8 years ago especially. Emotional Tokyo has had some nice uploads too.
edit: you might enjoy barber beats if you like lofi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk4yiBsvPSU
Blue Turtle (a YouTube compilation channel with nice art)
I love Blue Turtle! Also like how they started using [no AI] in the title, even though it's a sad state of affairs
To be clear, do you mean lofi as in "chillwave" or does actual lofi count?
I know they're popular, but Neutral Milk Hotel is probably my favorite. Just sounds like a cold day, in my first car, on a dirt road of a flyover state to me.
I'm open to everything. But this is unfortunately blocked in my country on copyright grounds lol
Oh shoot, that's lame!
Here's the track on Soundcloud posted by an account that looks like the record label, so hopefully that works.
jhfly is pretty cool (and squid ethics too)
Cindy Lee Diamond Jubilee is so good . An album not a radio but pretty long.
I used to listen to trip hop (so not exactly LoFi, but very close) mixes on a channel called "Confused Bi-product of a Misinformed Culture", especially the "Beat Therapy" series.
Unfortunately it looks like the channel disappeared, I figure they moved to Patreon. You can still find re-uploads of the mixes from other people though.
This is probably not lofi, but this mostly instrumental cumbia album is clutch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_YaGiMo5Y here's one song.
I mean, chilledcow / lofigirl kind of started the craze. Did you try them?
